Marth Beth Harvey's mother calls her Princess because she wants Mary Beth to receive the attention
and admiration of everyone in the town of Hope Springs. Trouble is, Mary Beth dreads the spotlight
and the fancy dresses her mother makes her wear. She'd rather draw pictures, wear jeans, and own a horese. Reviews
"A cast of dynamic, memorable characters, plenty of humor (a Staunton trademark) and well–paced plots with believable school–age conflicts and satisfying endings. . . . Highly recommended."
–Canadian Materials
"Staunton's strength is that he uses humor to engage the reader while exploring problems that loom large on the pre–teen radar."
